Bernardo Da Sahagun
HISTORIA UNIVERSAL NUEVA ESPANA (Fine Facsimile 3 Volume Edition in Slip-case)
Giunti. Slipcase (218 x 325 x 168 mm) containing three volumes. The Codex of the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence, reproduced here in facsimile, is the final version, the only bilingual one (Castilian and Nahua) , of the Historia universal de las cosas de Nueva España by Fra Bernardino da Sahagún. The manuscript, now known to scholars as the Florentine Codex, is of inestimable value not only for its lavish illustrations and plentiful information about pre-Hispanic civilizations in Mexico, but also because the Castilian text is the only complete one attributable to the author. Fra Bernardino was born in 1499 in Sahagún, in the old Kingdom of León. After taking the Franciscan habit he abandoned his family name, Ribeira. Little is known about his religious training in Spain, but we do know for certain that he studied in Salamanca, and that after having entered the Franciscan order he followed Antonio di Ciudad Rodrigo to Mexico, where he arrived in 1529.The Codex was compiled between 1576 and 1577. The preparation of the work, which Fra Bernardino was commissioned to undertake by Padre Comisario General, Fray Rodrigo de Soquera, dates from 1575. The books are indigenous accounts verbalized by Fra Bernardino from the year 1559. In 1569, after reorganizing and correcting the accounts gathered directly from informers, he eventually drafted a complete version of the entire Historia. The bilingual Codex, which even in 1585 Bernardino declared to know nothing about, reached the Biblioteca Palatina of the Grand-duke of Tuscany around 1589, probably as a gift from Philip II. , New [Bookseller: New Boston Used Books]

PIETRO D’ARGELATA.
Cirurgia.
[Colophon:] Venetiis [Venice]: [no printer], 1499. - Folio, 131 leaves (of 132, lacking the last blank). Gothic letter, double column, 70 lines plus headline, woodcut initials. Old repair to upper corner of C8 with loss of folio number, old repairs to a wormhole in the lower corner of 14 leaves, a few pale dampstains in the margins, last (blank) page a bit soiled and ragged in the upper corner, corners of last few leaves a little worn. Eighteenth century sheep-backed boards, spine repaired at head. Annotated in an early hand in the margins of about 68 pages (some cropped by the later binder). Fourth edition. Pietro d’Argelata (d. 1423) was the most distinguished pupil of Guy de Chauliac, and the principal surgeon between Guy and John of Vigo. He was professor at Bologna, and his Cirurgia was first published in 1480, edited by Matthaeus Moretus. He "taught the dry treatment of wounds, but powdered them; was skilled in dentistry, used sutures and drainage-tubes in wounds, trephined the skull, incised the linea alba in post-mortem Caesarean section, and sometimes operated for hernia, stone, and fistula in ano" (Garrison). He recommended compressing bandages in chronic ulcers, did not sew up wounds of nerves, cauterised varicose veins, and accomplished the removal of teeth by medicine rather than by pulling them out. The work contains a careful review of earlier literature with numerous references. The various chapters cover wounds in general and of particular parts, and ulcers in general and of particular parts, with other chapters on specific disorders such as hernia and scabies, and parts of the body including the eyes, ears, teeth and gums, skin, nerves, spine, etc. It contains a post-mortem carried out on the body of Pope Alexander V, who died suddenly and mysteriously in Bologna in 1410 (Long, p. 62). The annotations in this copy range from a brief note or just a single word to much longer notes occupying a whole margin. They are most extensive in the chapters on wounds. Klebs 777.4. BMC V, 588.

(WRFOL 086) Erste Ausgabe, einziger Wiegendruck.- Augustinus' exegetische Edition der Paulusbriefe wurde ediert von Petrus Securibilis. Druck in der dritten Presse von Ulrich Gering, dem Erstdrucker in Paris und Frankreich (ab 1470), der zugleich als Universitätsdrucker der Sorbonne wirkte. Die zusammen mit Berthold Remboldt betriebene Offizin (ab 1494) war aufgrund ihrer editorischen und typographischen Sorgfalt führend. Charakteristisch sind die vielen figürlichen und floralen Initialen, Holz- und Metallschnitt, für die es über 150 Stempel gab.- Unter Bezugnahme auf Polain hält Goff die Zuschreibung im Vorwort von Geoffroy Boussard an Beda Venerabilis für irrig. Eher, so Goff, gehe die Kompilation wohl auf Drepanius Florus (ca. 800-860) zurück.

Mancano, per il primo volume completo dell'opera, la carta 216 contenente parte del graduale della domenica XXIII e la carta 217 di colophon (il colophon è desunto dalla copia dell'opera esistente presso la biblioteca di Foligno, tra le poche in Italia a disporre dell'opera completa). Dalla collazione della stessa opera presente a Foligno, si desume che l'esemplare è completo di tutte le sue carte dal frontespizio alle altre due cc.non num.fino alla carta CCXV. Non possiamo inserire nella numerazione delle segnature le prime 3 carte mancanti di qualsiasi registro, per le altre carte a1-7 (registro completo nonostante la disparità dei fogli, alcune bibliografie inseriscono una delle due carte introduttive come foglio all'interno di tale registro), B1-8; fino a F1-8 poi G1-7; H1-8; I1-7; K1-8; L1-7; poi M1-8 fino a S1-8; poi T1-10; Pgreco II, 1-5, mancano le ultime due carte del primo volume e complessivamente le ultime 3 dell'ultimo registro segnalato, ove probabilmente era inserita una carta bianca. Difatti per un'identica opera collazionata alla bibl.della N.Y. University, le segnature della seconda parte il Sanctorale ripartono dalla lettera A. Primo volume dell'opera, a se stante per quanto riguarda il Graduale temporale, la seconda parte riporta difatti la sezione Sanctorale. L'opera completa sarebbe risultata di 381 carte complessive (la parte Sanctorale segue la numerazione della parte Temporale). Tarli perfettamente restaurati al taglio alto delle prime 3 carte ed al taglio basso del Graduale vero e proprio, quasi mai sono lesi i caratteri tipografici. Dimensioni del volume: cm. 48 x 34 ca. (le dimensioni dell'opera collazionata sono differenti a seconda della biblioteca o del bibliografo curatore, ad esempio il Camerino riporta cm. 54 x 36; la copia del British Museum è di cm. 54 x 38, la copia della Biblioteca di Washington di cm. 52 x 36). La pagina di frontespizio è stampata in caratteri rossi (di tipo gotico) di corpo 24, marca tipografica con giglio inserito in triplice filettatura e con le iniziali L.A. (di cm. 6 x 8,5). Verso del frontesp. Intitolato: Frater Fra(n)ciscus de Brugis ordinis mino(rum) observantiu(m) de p(ro)nuncia sancti Antonij: ad cantores prefatio; vrso stampato in caratteri ad inchiostro nero di tipo gotico (con spigolature molto addolcite) in 51 righe con caratteri di corpo 16; le altre 2 carte sono stampate con caratteri della stessa tipologia ma di corpo 10, con righe di paragrafo stampate ad inchiostro rosso, rubriche (3 in totale) ad inchiostro rosso e nero, esempi di musica notata a caratteri rossi e neri, le prime 3 carte riportano 2 capilettera incisi in negativo (con lettera in chiaro) di cm. 3 x 3 e 4 x 4 (i due con doppia filettatura all'esterno, con motivi floreali il primo e con figure antropomorfe il secondo). Le 215 carte del graduale sono tutte elegantemente impresse in rosso e nero, su ogni foglio sono riportate 7 righe notate al cui margine superiore sono inseriti i versi cantati, stampati in due colori in caratteri gotici di corpo 24ca., inoltre nelle 215 carte sono inseriti 8 splendidi capilettera animati, incisi elegantemente su legno, incorniciati in doppia filettatura, riproducenti scene tratte dalla vita di Gesù (realizzati in nero) di cm. 10 x 12. Sono inserite nel Graduale numerose rubriche stampate ad inchiostro rosso e nero. Il Graduale rappresenta uno dei massimi monumenti tipografici della fine del XV secolo, il tipografo infatti riuscì con quest'opera nell'ambizioso progetto di sostituire gli amanuensi, anche nella realizzazione di opere con musica notata.

Ausgabe von Biels Erklärung des Messcanon, nachdem die erste unter dem Titel: Lectura super Canon missae 1488 bei Otmar in Reutlingen erschienen war. Aber während diese nur auf einer Nachschrift basieren konnte, wurde bei der Tübinger das hinterlassene Maunuskript Biels selbst zu Grund gelegt. Auch ist die Tabula contentorum der ersteren vom Herausgeber Steinbach durch ein ausführliches Sachregister ersetzt. Endlich ist die Tübinger Ausgabe auch im Druck besser ausgestattet" (Steiff). Die Bedeutung Biels im Horizont der Vorgeschichte der Reformation und insbesondere dieses Werkes über den Meßkanon im Blick auf die theologische Entwicklung Luthers ist seit langem bekannt und hat in neuerer Zeit zu einer historisch-kritischen Neu-Edition dieses Bielschen Werkes geführt (Herausgeber u.a.

Mancano, per il primo volume completo dell'opera, la carta 216 contenente parte del graduale della domenica XXIII e la carta 217 di colophon (il colophon è desunto dalla copia dell'opera esistente presso la biblioteca di Foligno, tra le poche in Italia a disporre dell'opera completa). Dalla collazione della stessa opera presente a Foligno, si desume che l'esemplare è completo di tutte le sue carte dal frontespizio alle altre due cc.non num.fino alla carta CCXV. Non possiamo inserire nella numerazione delle segnature le prime 3 carte mancanti di qualsiasi registro, per le altre carte a1-7 (registro completo nonostante la disparità dei fogli, alcune bibliografie inseriscono una delle due carte introduttive come foglio all'interno di tale registro), B1-8; fino a F1-8 poi G1-7; H1-8; I1-7; K1-8; L1-7; poi M1-8 fino a S1-8; poi T1-10; Pgreco II, 1-5, mancano le ultime due carte del primo volume e complessivamente le ultime 3 dell'ultimo registro segnalato, ove probabilmente era inserita una carta bianca. Difatti per un'identica opera collazionata alla bibl.della N.Y. University, le segnature della seconda parte il "Sanctorale" ripartono dalla lettera A. Primo volume dell'opera, a se stante per quanto riguarda il "Graduale temporale", la seconda parte riporta difatti la sezione "Sanctorale". L'opera completa sarebbe risultata di 381 carte complessive (la parte "Sanctorale" segue la numerazione della parte "Temporale"). Tarli perfettamente restaurati al taglio alto delle prime 3 carte ed al taglio basso del Graduale vero e proprio, quasi mai sono lesi i caratteri tipografici. Dimensioni del volume: cm. 48 x 34 ca. (le dimensioni dell'opera collazionata sono differenti a seconda della biblioteca o del bibliografo curatore, ad esempio il Camerino riporta cm. 54 x 36; la copia del British Museum è di cm. 54 x 38, la copia della Biblioteca di Washington di cm. 52 x 36). La pagina di frontespizio è stampata in caratteri rossi (di tipo gotico) di corpo 24, marca tipografica con giglio inserito in triplice filettatura e con le iniziali L.A. (di cm. 6 x 8,5). Verso del frontesp.

Le 215 carte del graduale sono tutte elegantemente impresse in rosso e nero, su ogni foglio sono riportate 7 righe notate al cui margine superiore sono inseriti i versi cantati, stampati in due colori in caratteri gotici di corpo 24ca., inoltre nelle 215 carte sono inseriti 8 splendidi capilettera animati, incisi elegantemente su legno, incorniciati in doppia filettatura, riproducenti scene tratte dalla vita di Gesù (realizzati in nero) di cm. 10 x 12. Sono inserite nel Graduale numerose rubriche stampate ad inchiostro rosso e nero. Il Graduale rappresenta uno dei massimi monumenti tipografici della fine del XV secolo, il tipografo infatti riuscì con quest'opera nell'ambizioso progetto di sostituire gli amanuensi, anche nella realizzazione di opere con musica notata.

PIETRO D’ARGELATA.
Cirurgia.
[Colophon:] Venetiis [Venice]: [no printer], 1499. Folio, 131 leaves (of 132, lacking the last blank). Gothic letter, double column, 70 lines plus headline, woodcut initials. Old repair to upper corner of C8 with loss of folio number, old repairs to a wormhole in the lower corner of 14 leaves, a few pale dampstains in the margins, last (blank) page a bit soiled and ragged in the upper corner, corners of last few leaves a little worn. Eighteenth century sheep-backed boards, spine repaired at head. Annotated in an early hand in the margins of about 68 pages (some cropped by the later binder). Fourth edition. Pietro d’Argelata (d. 1423) was the most distinguished pupil of Guy de Chauliac, and the principal surgeon between Guy and John of Vigo. He was professor at Bologna, and his Cirurgia was first published in 1480, edited by Matthaeus Moretus. He “taught the dry treatment of wounds, but powdered them; was skilled in dentistry, used sutures and drainage-tubes in wounds, trephined the skull, incised the linea alba in post-mortem Caesarean section, and sometimes operated for hernia, stone, and fistula in ano” (Garrison). He recommended compressing bandages in chronic ulcers, did not sew up wounds of nerves, cauterised varicose veins, and accomplished the removal of teeth by medicine rather than by pulling them out. The work contains a careful review of earlier literature with numerous references. The various chapters cover wounds in general and of particular parts, and ulcers in general and of particular parts, with other chapters on specific disorders such as hernia and scabies, and parts of the body including the eyes, ears, teeth and gums, skin, nerves, spine, etc. It contains a post-mortem carried out on the body of Pope Alexander V, who died suddenly and mysteriously in Bologna in 1410 (Long, p. 62). The annotations in this copy range from a brief note or just a single word to much longer notes occupying a whole margin. They are most extensive in the chapters on wounds. Klebs 777.4. BMC V, 588.

[Evelyn Shuckburg, Letters of Cicero, 1909.]Cornelius Nepos (c. 100-24 BC) was a Roman biographer. Supposedly he was born at Hostilia, a village in Cisalpine Gaul not far from Verona. His Gallic origin is attested by Ausonius, and Pliny the Elder calls him Padi accola ('a dweller on the River Po, Natural History III.22). He was a friend of Catullus, who dedicates his poems to him (I.3), Cicero and Titus Pomponius Atticus. Eusebius places him in the fourth year of the reign of Augustus, which is supposed to be when he began to attract critical acclaim by his writing.Pomponius Laetus, ÒHumanist, born in Calabria in 1425; d. at Rome in 1497. He was a bastard of the House of the Sanseverino of Naples, Princes of Salerno, but owing to his great admiration for antiquity and the Roman Republic he would not recognize them as connections. When very young he went to Rome and became a pupil of Valla. His brilliant capacities won him admiration and success. He wished to live the life of the ancients. His vineyard on the Quirinal was cultivated in accordance with the precepts of Varro and of Columella, and he was himself regarded as a second Cato.Ó [CE]Basically a reprint of PinciusÕ c1495 edition with the addition of a note to readers by Julius Pomponius Laetus.

Queen Elizabeth I

Gloriana Grants Passage toOne of the Pioneers of Protestantism in Austria.She signs a passport for the renowned knight, Baron Sigismund Hager~Allentsteig is a city about 40 miles northwest of Vienna in Lower Austria. By 1499 Sigismund Hager I took control of the leadership of the Allentsteig area, coming into possession of the estate and castle at Reinsback. From 1502-1517 he held the office of Landmarschall, a position that made him its ruler, responsible for all military and political matters. It also required him to represent the region to the Habsburg court in Vienna. In 1529 the Ottoman Turks attacked Austria in an attempt to move forward their conquests into Western Europe. Their 120,000-man army laid siege to Vienna, in which the vastly outnumbered defenders made their preparations. In one of the most significant confrontations in history, the Viennese successfully resisted the siege and the Turks retreated. This victory effectively stopped the advance of Islam into Central and Western Europe and ensured that the Christian rather than the Muslim religion and culture would dominate the region. Sebastian Hager, successor to Sigismund Hager I, was a leader of the Austrian infantry during this heroic and historic defense. From the beginning of the Protestant Reformation in the 1520's, Protestant doctrines were welcomed by the people living in the areas under Habsburg rule. According to the Allentsteig website, "The Hagers are considered the pioneers of Protestantism in Austria." By the middle of the 16th century, under their leadership, over 80% of the Allentsteig population was Protestant. The Roman Catholic Church retained the support of the Habsburg dynasty and was thus able to maintain a strong presence throughout the area as well.Sigismund Hager II (1547-1617) was a nobleman who distinguished himself by his knowledge of languages and scien
